The Blizzard of 2026 brought 65 miles per hour winds and approximately 18 inches of snow to East Boston on Monday. With a snow emergency and parking ban in effect beginning Sunday at 2 p.m., some residents had the unpleasant experience of having their vehicles towed during the storm. In the photo above, a tow truck operator lifts an illegally parked vehicle Sunday night for its journey to a designated municipal lot or tow yard. The Boston Public Schools canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday as Eastie residents dug out from the major storm.
In the photo (above), the low-visibility conditions on Chelsea Street are shown during the storm.
